OMG– this is my own personal heaven. This health food store also has a cafe inside. Their menu is fully vegetarian with vegan & gluten-free options. I got a green juice + an omelette with a side of gluten-free toast.

I also shopped around for some super affordable health foods. You MUST visit this spot if you’re into fresh, organic, & healthy food!

Located in the Ace Hotel, this throwback-style diner is perfect for brunch + dinner alike. Their drinks are as bomb as their food. Something about sipping a cocktail in such a casual setting is very satisfying to me.

They usually have a bingo night on their weekly schedule, so make sure you look up what night that is if you’re wanting something fun to do during the week!

what to do

Our heli tour was BY FAR the highlight of the entire trip. I had never been in a helicopter prior to our experience with JOIRIDE. One of my friends on the trip, Hanna, had perviously been on a number of helicopter tours, and she swore up & down that this one topped them all.

The staff at JOIRIDE is so much fun, and we felt safe + taken care of during our flight. I’m careful with where I place my trust when doing things like this, and I 100% trust JOIRIDE in terms of safety. I HIGHLY recommend getting a helicopter tour of Palm Springs. Ask to go near the wind mills!

There are a number of Casinos around the Palm Springs area, but the one we went to ( Spa Resort Casino ) was walking distance from our hotel. I’m not a huge gambler ( ANXIETY ), but I happily sat at the bar & talked to locals while my friends did some slot machines.

I’ve made a number of trips to Palm Springs since living in Los Angeles, and I can honestly say that this trip topped them all. I’ll update this post as future trips arise + I discover more places.

I’d LOVE to know if I missed any hidden gems that YOU think are a must-see/do/eat/drink/etc. I live for the suggestions I get from you. I really, really do.
